Caroline's thirst for her blood was not because she was hungry for human blood but because of the thought of how Zanuel felt about her. She didn't feel sorry or anything as she was sucking the blood out of her body.

The head maid, Margaret came running to the hallway holding a silver rod in her hand, and with just one hit on her back, Caroline moved away from Denisa, her back burning and turning red while the maids held Denisa in her arms holding her neck with a handkerchief to stop the bleeding.

"How dare you?"

Caroline lost her temper as her back burned, making her feel unbearable pain, she walks closer to Margaret but didn't get any closer as other maids came running with the same silver rods in their hands, she glares at her in disgust and vanished from the palace.

"my lady you okay?" Margaret asks Denisa who didn't make any sound, blood dripping from her neck.

The maids held her tight, and take her to Zanuel's room, and tended her neck to stop the bleeding.

Denisa was lying on the bed while the physician was disinfecting her neck "who was that blood-sucking creature?" Denisa finally broke her silence and asks Margaret who saved her from Caroline.

"she's Caroline, she's one of the followers of the lord"

Denisa looks at her and only the head maid looked her in the eyes as she spoke "why did she do that to me?"

"I'm sorry my lady, we were supposed to keep you safe but we didn't. You can punish us as you please"

The maids who followed her were scared but the head maid didn't show any fear in her eyes. Denisa looks away "leave me alone," she says and everyone left the room while the guards stood at the door guarding her as she was resting in the room.

"..."

"my lord"

Zanuel looks at Robert "how's she?"

"I left her in the palace and Margaret assured me she will keep her safe"

Zanuel looks at him puzzled by his immense trust as he spoke about her "Margaret is the head maid lord and she will do anything to keep her safe" he says.

They were talking when Robert heard the thoughts of the demons rushing to them "my lord they're here"

Zanuel wears the coat as he walked to the door and Robert followed him. The demons stood by the door while he walked to them, the coat covering his footsteps from the ground as he walked.

The demons eyed him as he walked towards them, seeing him alive everyone was anxious, even though Zanuel couldn't hear their thoughts but he was good at face reading and everyone had the same expression on their faces.

'he doesn't look like he was in a coffin over a millennium' their expressions gave them out, he smirks at the sight of them and sits on the throne which was always his.

"How? Just how did you get out?" one of the demons asked which every demon present in front of him wanted to ask.

Zanuel stares at him, making him wonder why he had to ask the question when no one else did.

"I was lucky," Zanuel says getting up from the throne and walking towards him.

The demons kept quiet and didn't raise their heads in fear of getting caught by him. Everyone was thinking about things they usually don't, to not get caught by Robert.

"I'm well and alive, as I was before. Nothing changed!" Zanuel declares as the demons were just standing there as they were no longer under the oath of loyalty, he didn't feel their powers but didn't say a word and let them think that he didn't notice.

The demons left without speaking another word, no one wants a war or a fight that they know they'll never win.

"Let's go to the palace"

Zanuel was done with the demons as they were the least on his mind while Denisa was running through his head even when he was talking to the demons who were lying to him by being present in front of him.

Zanuel was ready to leave the house but Robert didn't go when he heard Caroline's thoughts. "What happened to you?" he asks, getting close to her. The burns were getting red. He knew who did that, only one person in the kingdom knows how to hurt the demons without even putting up a fight with them.

"Don't tell me you tried to hurt the lady!" he asks the question to which he already has an answer to.

Caroline looks at him who was staring at her with his piercing eyes. "Tell me" he insists on listening to the truth from her.

"Yes I fed on her, I sucked the blood out of her body" she agreed, and his fear came true.

Zanuel walks into the palace and everyone looked at him mesmerized by him, the maids, and also the male servants as he kept walking to his room. The guards guarding the doors moved away as he walked closer and the door opened wide open showing Denisa sleeping in his bed.

Denisa was lying on the bed when she heard the door open she didn't bother turning to see who it was. "What happened?" Zanuel asks as he walked closer to her. Denisa turned around to look at him and his eyes landed on her neck.

"Who did it?" Zanuel was not taking it easy, his eyes turning red in anger, he settles on the bed and gently touches her neck, and asks her again "who did this Denisa"

Denisa didn't speak a word and seeing him by her side she realized he was the reason for everything, if not for him she didn't have to experience anything, getting forced to the dungeon and getting her neck bitten and getting her blood sucked, this is not something she would have faced in her daily life.

"No one" Denisa didn't give him the name, and turned around and faked sleep, his patience level was touching its limits.

"Guards!" He screams and the guards standing by the door came running to his aid.

"My lord"

"Who hurt her?"

"My lord, we just heard a rumor"

"Who"

"Caroline my lord"

Zanuel looks at Denisa who didn't want to see him and walks out of the room and saw Robert standing in front of him. "Where is she?"

"My lord, Caroline is sorry, she couldn't control herself," he says but it didn't work on Zanuel. He knows she'll never feel sorry.

"I asked where she is!"

Caroline walked to him, Robert looks at him "my lord, Margaret didn't spare her, she was hit by the silver rod" she didn't speak a word.

Zanuel looks at Margaret who was listening to them talk. "My lord" Margaret bows to her lord who she only heard of all her life. "She won't be able to recover for three months," she says and looks at Denisa who stood there watching all the drama.

"Who are you?" Zanuel asks as she looked a little familiar to him.

"I'm Kimberly Kate's daughter, my lord"

Kimberly Kate, it rings a bell. Kate was the woman Zanuel saved when she was attacked by vampires.

"Where is she?"

"she died three years ago my lord"

Margaret looks at Zanuel with no expression but loyalty as her mother told her to be loyal to him and only him and is willing to do anything for him.

Denisa looked at Zanuel, expecting nothing but curios as to what order he will pass regarding the matter as everyone here was trying to save Caroline from him.

Zanuel walked to Caroline and holds her neck, strangling her to see her begging him to stop but she didn't.

No one dared come closer to him but Denisa. "Leave her, I said leave!" She screams and pulls Zanuel's hands from her neck.

"My neck is bleeding, help me"

Zanuel looks at Denisa ordering him and dragging him into the room holding his hands, even though what Caroline did to her was worse but Denisa didn't want her dead.
